Joffrey Lauvergne Tattoo

The newest member of the San Antonio Spurs, Joffrey Lauvergne, is one tough hombre.

Aside from the fact he could probably destroy anyone in kickboxing, (watch out Tim Duncan) Lauvergne also endured lots of hours getting jabbed repeatedly by needles for his latest epic tattoo.

His latest ink features a gladiator fending off a charging lion in front a crowd coupled with the logo of his former European team, Partizan Belgrade’s logo, ripping out of his skin.

Joffrey Lauvergne Contract

The Spurs continue to work to fortify their 2017-18 roster, agreeing to terms Monday with free-agent center Joffrey Lauvergne on a two-year contract, sources confirmed.

The Vertical first reported the news.

Lauvergne, 25, became an unrestricted free agent on Saturday when the Chicago Bulls rescinded their qualifying offer, spurring interest from multiple teams.

San Antonio jumped into the fray, as it is looking to add to its frontcourt after veterans Pau Gasol, David Lee and Dewayne Dedmon all opted out of the final year of their contracts. Lee and Dedmon are drawing interest from multiple teams, according to league sources. Gasol is expected to return to the Spurs on a more team-friendly deal after declining his $16.2 million option to free up cap space for the team.

Lauvergne has averaged 6.1 points and 4.0 rebounds over three NBA seasons, and split time in 2016-17 between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Bulls, who added him to their roster in a deal at the trade deadline.

San Antonio Spurs 2017-18 season review: Joffrey Lauvergne

Let’s look back at Joffrey Lauvergne’s season for the San Antonio Spurs.
When the San Antonio Spurs signed Joffrey Lauvergne in the 2017 offseason, he seemed to be the first of two or three backup big men behind LaMarcus Aldridge and Pau Gasol to be signed. That never happened, as the Spurs did not acquire another center or power forward, instead opting to use Davis Bertans to stretch the defense and Rudy Gay as an undersized four.

That would mean Lauvergne has his biggest role yet in the NBA, right?

Wrong — at least if fans look at his 9.7 minutes per game, which became a career-low for the Frenchman.

Lauvergne actually played somewhat heavy minutes for a backup center in the first three games: 12, 17 and 16, respectively. Early but it was a trajectory towards his 17.6 minutes per game with the Denver Nuggets in 2015-16.

However, a sprained ankle derailed Lauvergne in the season’s third game. This took him out for three weeks, part of which saw him come back healthy but not receive playing time.

From there, it was a complicated process for Lauvergne to reenter the rotation permanently. Bertans played his way into a regular role, while Gay took over 20 minutes off the bench, in a role next to Aldridge or Gasol to give lineups the shooting that combats the modern-day NBA. Partly due to this, Lauvergne only picked up double-digit minute totals in 21 games after Nov. 14.

There was an outlier amongst these 21 performances, however: the 26 points and 11 rebounds on the final day before the All-Star break, against the Denver Nuggets, when Aldridge was out and the Spurs desperately needed scoring production. Surprisingly, this came from Lauvergne’s scoring total on 12-for-15 shooting. No one saw that coming, and it was by far his best game of the season.

Kate Capshaw’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Kate Capshaw Net Worth: Kate Capshaw is a retired American actress who has a net worth of $100 million dollars. Although she has an extensive career in her own right, the majority of her net worth is attributable to her husband since 1991, director Steven Spielberg. Early Life: Capshaw was born as Kathleen Sue Nail in Fort Worth, Texas. Her mother Beverley Sue was a travel agent and beautician, and her father Edwin Leon was an airline employee. The family moved to St. Louis, Missouri, when she was five, and she graduated from Hazelwood Senior High (now known as Hazelwood Central High School) in 1972. She continued her education at the University of Missouri, where she earned a degree in education and was a member of the sorority Alpha Delta Pi. Following graduation from college, she taught Special Education at Southern Boone County High School in Ashland, Missouri, and Rock Bridge High School in Columbia, Missouri. Career: After moving to New York City to pursue her dream of acting, she landed a role on the long-running soap opera “The Edge of Night.” She left “The Edge of Night” to star in the comedy film “A Little Sex” (1982), which she landed the lead role in despite initially auditioning for a smaller supporting role. Capshaw won the female lead as Willie Scott opposite actor Harrison Ford in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” (1984), a prequel to the 1981 film “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” It was while filming “Temple of Doom” that she met director and her future husband Steven Spielberg. She also appeared in productions such as the 1986 film “SpaceCamp” as camp instructor Andie Bergstrom; “Power” (1986) opposite Richard Gere and Gene Hackman; and “The Quick and The Dead” opposite Sam Elliott in the starring role as character Susanna McKaskel. Films she appeared in throughout the late 1980s and into the 1990s including “Black Rain” (1989) alongside Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia, “Just Cause” (1995) with Sean Connery and Laurence Fishburne, and “Love Affair” (1994) with Warren Beatty and Katharine Hepburn. Additionally, she was featured in the 1997 film “The Alarmist” with David Arquette and Stanley Tucci, and starred in and produced the film “The Love Letter” (1999). Her last projects before retiring from acting were the Showtime Cable Network TV Movie “A Girl Thing” (2001) with Stockard Channing, Rebecca De Mornay, and Elle Macpherson, and the 2001 TV movie “Due East.” Personal Life: Capshaw married marketing manager Robert Capshaw in January 1976, before divorcing in 1980. She kept her ex-husband’s surname Capshaw, which she used for her professional name during her acting career. Capshaw married director Steven Spielberg in 1991. Originally an Episcopalian, she converted to Judaism before marrying him in both civil and Orthodox ceremonies. In the combined Spielberg-Capshaw family, there are seven children in total: Jessica Capshaw, Capshaw’s daughter from her first marriage to Robert Capshaw; Max Spielberg, Spielberg’s son from his previous marriage to actress Amy Irving; Theo Spielberg, Capshaw’s son that she adopted before her marriage to Spielberg, later also adopted by him; Sasha Spielberg; Sawyer Spielberg; Mikaela George, whom the couple adopted together; and Destry Spielberg. If the couple were to divorce, their communal property would likely be several hundred million or more dollars when you include real estate and earnings during the marriage. Hopefully that never happens, but if it did Capshaw would be worth significantly more money. Spielberg is the principal partner of the movie production studio DreamWorks Studios, having cofounded the company in 1994 alongside partners Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen. The couple live in Pacific Palisades, and upscale residential neighborhood in California renowned for its beautiful ocean views and hiking trails, having bought their mansion there in the late 1990s. Additionally, they have an extensive real estate portfolio that includes properties such as two properties in Malibu, one bought in 1989 and the other purchased in 2000, with the two costing them a total of $6.57 million. They sold the estate with both properties for $26 million in 2015. They also own a vacation home in the exclusive area of Georgica Pond in the Hamptons, New York. Reportedly, they count powerhouse music couple Beyonce and Jay-Z, and billionaire Ronald Perelman as their neighbors in the Hamptons. Furthermore, the couple acquired a luxury yacht, The Severn Seas, for $184 million. However, they put it up for sale in 2015 because the 282-foot vessel was reportedly not big enough.
